| Q.What is Social Dreaming? |
|
| Social Dreaming is a discipline for amplifying the social meaning and significance of dreams through sharing them with other people. This is done in a Social Dreaming Matrix by the deliberate and sustained method of free association and amplification.
Social Dreaming takes place, with any number of people, in a 'matrix'. The matrix is a different 'container' for receiving dreams. It is different from a group or a dyad as in the therapeutic situation. Because it is a different container the 'contained' of the dream alters and is always reflecting the social context of the dreamer. The different contents of the dream ushers the dreamer into a larger domain of gaining knowledge and insight.
If the unconscious operates on different logic from the rational world and is the ground of dreaming, so the matrix mirrors this different logic in a way that is not so possible in a group.
The matrix makes the world of the infinite, of the 'not-yet-known', the 'waiting-to-be-known', the 'yet-to-be discovered', the 'unthought known', that much more accessible. The unknown is the source of all creative discoveries. Once something is thought of it enters the domain of the finite known. Social Dreaming offers the opportunities to think afresh, laterally, and creatively around the tensions, paradoxes, and possible contradictions and ambivalence of entering 'not-knowing' as a way to develop new knowledge.
Q. Aren't dreams private?
Dreams come from the individual but they are reflecting the social unconscious that we all share.
Since the focus of SD is on gaining knowledge of the environment, the individual's private preoccupations are not considered. The focus is on the dreaming and not the dreamer,
Focusing on the personal of the individual's dreams has been a privileged prejudice for most of last century. From time immemorial people have used their dreams to solve the problems of living in the environment.v |

| Q.I'm worried about sharing my dream - should I be? |
|
| No, because the dreams are treated as belonging to all the people participating. Dreams are never dissected from an individual point of view. Anyway the dreams in a Social Dreaming are different from those presented in any therapeutic situation. |
